Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc5qtIbWvg
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZCUnMZwE
He sighed, pulling at his hoodie a bit to cover his face more, and he looked down at his blue, worn sneakers through blurry eyes.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUpiHb3lkU
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLrT8fQz3h
At this hour, it was safe to say most of the city was asleep, but he was wide awake. Mentally tired, but he was wide awake. He didn't feel sleepy at all, and he wouldn't dare close his eyes right now.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7g266EAuB
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ3dCuMU0D
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WvOEfwYtL
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7YZxg3uTQ
The teen held back a sob, rubbing his arm against his face to get rid of the tears. He just wanted to forget right now. It'd be good for his anxiety to just pretend he lived a different life for now.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8L9gwtvQ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18XNJKtHct
Then he quickly rushed into a small, run-down restaurant that stayed open even at night. Of course, the place was very empty, save a woman behind the counter and a young man at one of the few tables.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9jTBTMH0B
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsttMgM6qQM
The teen sighed again, feeling a bit better in the warm room instead of the crippling cold air that somehow made him feel even more numb then he already was. He walked over to one of the tables--the one near the other teen--collapsing in it and pulling his hoodie back, revealing his black shaggy hair.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPG9Y1Pupj
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52sjhWBxTr
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01uTkNRMz
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOqOThBWQJ
The teen thought about it for a moment. He didn't feel like eating. And he didn't have much money on him. "Hot tea."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAvfQccHnW
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68nthN8en
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuizmzsZtA
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Jimc9Skv
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj97vEYTxw9
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AcQAICX5b
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIT2EdE0q7
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHzB2KrtH
"I can say the same. And anyways, haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't talk to strangers?" The teen snapped again, this time glaring at the light brown, messy haired boy.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSQGFxUe04
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpFLjzpaH
The second boy laughed a little. "Well, when you can't even trust your family to not hurt you, does it even matter then? Plus, think about it, how would anyone make friends if they didn't talk to strangers?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9aK2AZZAn
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxJGlchSSF
The black haired boy stared at him curiously, though didn't say anything, and the other boy didn't say anything else since the waitress walked back over, placing a mug of hot tea in front the black haired teen.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPgh9yeDYg
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXGUzbs147
Though once she left, the brown haired boy stood up with his plate of some sort of cake with white frosting on it, walking over to the black haired boys table, sitting down.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6SPf5ANnw
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlrXpHc2Qp
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZB5Y6xNtD
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzJnimefQ
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3yF7lmFi
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zFUALd1wz
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvBATLwG9p
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VKjE6O7aS
"Sure thing." The woman told him, grabbing up a small clean dish and walking over to the table, setting it down, and the brown haired boy transferred one of the pieces of the cake to the other plate, sliding it over to the other teen. "Relax, Stranger, I just ordered this cake, so its not like I had enough time to poison it." The second teen joked, glancing at the boy across him.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILzBkGGkLV
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2JQaAo7vJ
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uPsmj58CM
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJo76aJlI
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k0hTZOdMn
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM2jWZygqS
The black haired teen grabbed up a spoon that was on the napkin beside his mug, before bringing it over to his cake to cut a small bit off to start with. "Thank you..."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z587i4s52
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH6YraT9qn
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGz3DpS0u1
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzKonH43SV
The black haired boy glanced down into his mug, looking at his reflection, and when he didn't answer the teen, the guy shifted, sighing slightly. "I mean, we're strangers, bound to never meet again, and we both have our problems, so we might as well get it off our chests, since I'm sure you have no one to talk to, and I don't either."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrIA52S4Gy
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXOhqd27ee
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFztzI7dNwC
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1kT4uC2lb
"My parents are both really strict and are complete jerks who don't understand me, and yell at me and get on to me about every little thing, and I'm tired of it. I don't have any friends, save my boyfriend who just slapped me and yelled at me before breaking up." He explained snappily, and he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes again.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj70nhcIg8c
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJzURWTLv5
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROYV33vXc
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKl2bAsuFX
"Yeah...and honestly, they barely accepted me for it." The black haired teen muttered, taking another bite of his cake...it tasted like chocolate and it was so amazing. It basically melted in his mouth too. And the hot tea went well with it.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtzeHVjaAS
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YU7LJ12UQ
"Well, at least they kinda accepted you." The brown haired teen told him with a gentle smile, standing up and pulling some money out of his pocket and laying it down on the table before starting to walk out of the building.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU3yfBWSz8
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxw6rMFCxb
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQLIxKfTWi
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17NpfPm4aD
Then the other teen smiled at him. "Oh, I ran away. My parents couldn't accept me, and I was constantly being used by other boys. Nice talking to you, Stranger."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaAjsq87LX
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BER5j335L
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnwVYTQr4G
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2OR8AfJuA
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35aHJvHgAA
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2HzSwCjLk
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh5Yls4YFw
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
